On-Campus Meal Plan Additional Information
All students who live in a residence hall must have an on-campus meal plan each semester and can choose from either the Gold Flex, Blue or Loyalty Dining plans. The location of a student’s residence hall does not determine or suggest which plan they should choose. Students living in Aspenson Mogensen Hall, Chancellors Hall, Haymarket Landing and The Priory are exempt from this policy but may purchase a meal plan if they would like.
Meal Plan Dollars can be used at any campus dining location during each semester. They are used as cash equivalent to make dining purchases and have no cash value.
Meal plan dollar balances remaining at the end of the first semester will roll over to second semester only if a student has an active on-campus meal plan both semesters. All on-campus meal plan dollars remaining at the end of the academic year will expire. Meal plan dollars have not cash value.
Off-Campus Meal Plan Sign-Up
Off-Campus students are not required to have a meal plan. However, we have two meal plans geared towards students living off-campus, in Aspenson Mogensen Hall, Chancellors Hall, Haymarket Landing or The Priory: Diner's Club and the Flex 50 Meal Plan. Both plans can be purchased through eAccounts.
Please note that the Flex 50 Meal Plan cannot be purchased after February 28, 2025 to ensure students have ample time to use their plan balances.
Off-campus students may also select to purchase one of the three on-campus meal plans for added flexibility, quality and convenience. On-campus meal plans for the Spring 2024-25 semester can be purchased on-line through the Housing Portal between June 5, 2024 and August 26, 2024 or in person in the Blugold Card Office between September 3, 2024 and September 11, 2024 at 4:00 pm.
